Open Letter to Dog Owners

Hi Dog Owner's of King West,

I know as a rule you are not interested in the rights of your taxpaying neighbours. I have no scientific proof, but my own observation tells me that dog owners are not as nice as non-dog owners like me. As a general rule of thumb, I'm probably nicer than you are.  I actually care about the rights and private property of others. I respect the right of people to use and enjoy public property, such as parks, and their exclusive rights to their own private property.

I'm going to ask you nicely to not have your mutt urinate and defecate on my lawn. The photos below were taken from my condo balcony. Along with a bunch of other people, some dog owners, I own that narrow piece of grass along King St West in Toronto. I don't care if most of you, not all, pick up after your dog. Take a look at the photos, you're killing my lawn. It is all I have! It is the only land I own.

I don't like your fur kids. I think they smell bad and are impolite. I don't want them wrecking my lawn. It is bad enough that you have hijacked the local parks for the exclusive use of you and your fur children. Leave me my small patch of grass.

The City of Toronto spent thousands of tax dollars to construct an off-leash enclosure in Stanley Park. This fairly large park is a block from my condo. But that is not good enough for you self-centred dog lovers. You insist on using the entire park for your exclusive use, as an off-leash tract of land. Non-dog owners? You don't get a park. You can't even use your privately owned strip of grass, because that is our dog's toilet.

Two large off leash dogs were following their owner this week, who was riding a bike. One of the dogs took a massive dump on my land. The dog owner never even turned around.

Dog owners are very defencive, they are needy and feel entitled. In my opinion you are selfish pricks.
